The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) has announced new developments to its market leading INSPEC database which will increase discoverability of content and provide new functionality to support the research process.
INSPEC claims to be the world's most trusted source of physical sciences and engineering research information, used globally by the most innovative organisations that take seriously the need to give their researchers and students the best tools for their work. From MIT to SUNY community college, INSPEC gives students and researchers' essential intelligence and unrivalled metadata connections to find the information needed to improve research productivity.
The IET has announced plans to release a new generation INSPEC that will combine the same high quality indexing that users have come to expect with semantic technologies to further enrich data. New INSPEC will enable millions more data points to be connected, furthering access to vital information.
INSPEC has long been respected as the most authoritative resource for pinpointing important literature in engineering and is the index of choice for over 95% of the world's top engineering departments. Built on the renowned INSPEC thesaurus, the quality of the INSPEC database is assured thanks to the curation of content and detailed indexing carried out by The IET's subject experts. New generation INSPEC will continue to leverage this expertise but will combine it with the latest in AI and semantic technologies to increase the amount of content that is indexed and made discoverable to its tens of thousands of users.
